Mine pictured in the sig is RYTSIZE.

At 6'5 I still get asked at least once a week, "How do you fit in there?" Then I point at the plate.

Well since you didn't post any pictures of your MINI in your NAM gallery I had to go the extra step to find a picture of your MINI on your personal website.
I must say that it was worth the search, very sharp looking MINI and Great photo by the way.
I wouldn't worry too much about the tag, most people probably have no idea what it means anyway.
My tag has MOTD129 and the only ones that have any idea what that means are the MINI drivers that are familiar with the Dragon aka: route 129
So the MOTD129 translates to MINI's On The Dragon route 129.

FYI: Your signature has a bad link to your personal website.
hey, thanx for the extra effort
I'll fix the link to the website, wonder why it doesn't work

Do you have any other pictures that show off more of the Checker patterns?
I also have a Pure Silver MINI and I was wondering what it would look like if I started adding checkers.
I was'nt completely sure if it would look good on pure silver but I do like the way it looks on yours.

Not MINI-related, but I liked this one because it's both clever and extremely "wrong" at the same time:



(It also gives a creepy new interpretation to the red "paint" palmprints.)

I love the website it has quite a few unique plates..
I didn't add mine to it because it is so esoteric that anyone that has never been to
the Dragon during an MOTD event would never understand what my plate is reffering to.

The first one is the Mini, the second is my truck. They never cease to crack me up.

Your Italian plate looks good! Where did you get it? Is the plate aluminum, or acrylic (like my GB plate)?

If you're looking for metal tags I found this guy that makes some really nice custom metal tags and also has real European tags for sale.
Check out his website at: http://www.grtpl8s.com/ The tags come from Germany and are of excellent quality.
